Children’s Ministry Coordinator Youth Pastor & School Chaplain
I am married to Ric and mum to two amazing daughters. I was an infant teacher for over 20 years and am now the Children’s Ministry Coordinator at St Andrew’s, where I get the absolute joy and privilege of teaching children about Jesus and working alongside a brilliant team of leaders and helpers. I oversee our Youth Ministry here and also work as the School Chaplain at Balshaw’s CE Secondary School. I try and show teenagers the beauty and freedom that Jesus offers to us, and have fun doing it!

Church Manager Church Warden
Hello I’m Janet, the church manager. I am married with 2 grown up children and a dog. I have lived in Leyland and worshipped at St Andrew’s all my life (except my 4 years at university). I was a primary school teacher for 22 years but since 2018 when I got the position here, I feel called by God to be in this role.  I oversee the running of the church office, deal with enquiries about weddings, baptisms, funerals, hall hire and any other queries. I also am responsible for the church diary, HR, assist with safeguarding and generally deal with anything else random that turns up on the doorstep!  Hi, I'm Mark, one of the wardens here, I'm a father of three grown up kids, grandfather to 5 soon to be 6, along with my wardens role, I also help lead our Griefshare group and one of our growth groups. I have lived in Leyland for over 35 years so I'm nearly a local. I work at Tesco as a delivery driver of the online grocery orders. I love to see people grow in their relationship with Jesus and help them on their journey of faith. Please introduce yourself and have a chat with me when we meet.

We joined St Andrews in 2014, when we moved north to be nearer family. I spend my days drawing lines and circles on the computer as a Draughtsman. At St Andrews I lead a growth group and serve as one of the Wardens.
